The new pet the mighty alpaca is like a sheep (and a commerce partner?) because the robe looks nice but is it worth the 10$?

If you commerce regularly, I would say so. Even if you don't commerce, the inventory space is extremely good for the price.

It actually is.
A 8x10 Inventory, useful craftable items made from its fur (material pouches, +20% Commerce Speed Robe), Improved Wagon during Commerce, decent speed as a mount.
And last but not least, the fun factor, sometimes you'll end up being the mount, and it can jump while you ride on it, and dances when you play music! [S]AND THE PRICELESS FACE.[/S]
I say yes, it's worth it.

Well, you do get the commerce mount aspect which is.. the cheapest one so far. O: It also has a bag that's 8x10, and as someone with way too many pets to possibly hold everything their inventory can, I jumped right on this almost solely for that. xD The fur you can shear off them can be used to make identical copies of bags that were otherwise only in gachapon too.. I'd say it's a damn firm win/win to get one.
*Also note it only takes time to make these bags or items(you can collect 200 fur per day, not including lucky bonuses), they're auto set to be crafted with Weaving, meaning you cannot fail their creation. :3
Oh and color selectable, always seems worth a slightly higher price to me. O:
Take from all this what you will, but I would recommend them to just about anyone. nwn

If I were able to refund my Thoroughbred, I would because the Alpaca is many times better (same mount speed as a Thoroughbred if actually riding it, more inventory space, Alpaca Items, Commerce, and it's cheaper than the Thoroughbred).

If you are looking for inventory space, it's probably best to skip the Alpaca. Character cards yield space at about 1 square per 50NX without any item bags. Alpacas give 1 square per 123NX.
The Alpaca robe doesn't stack with the commerce reforge, which goes up to +60% speed, so the robe is basically a level 7 commerce speed wear. And let's face it, the typical player does not commerce enough to justify getting an Alpaca for the improved wagon space.
The only logical reason to buy an Alpaca is if you want to make Alpaca pouches, which will boost the amount of inventory per NX greater than a character card's.

Definitely... I mean the horse mounts are similar price, yet the Alpaca does so much more. I tested it with a friend and it's the same speed as the thoroughbred, which is pretty fast. It's also quite fun to jump around. XD

Definitely in my opinion efficiency/utility wise this is one of the most useful pets ever released by nexon. The other of course being partners like Butler/Maid/Commerce Partner.
You can make bags from the wool, so you can easily horde your mats.
The robe is a definite++
It also isn't hideous :O.
Cost wise I would recommend it. Great utility for your buck c:
